Dr. Rey’s Instant Shaper to imitate plastic surgery

by

Dr. Robert Rey, well-known plastic surgeon and star of the reality TV Show Dr. 90210, has worked with an Australian lingerie designer Bruno Schiavi to create shapewear as an alternative to expensive and dangerous plastic surgery. Rey says,

“It was a very easy association, as there are so many women who just can’t afford, and never will be able to afford, plastic surgery…To be totally blunt, one of the risks that can happen with some types of plastic surgery is that you can die.”

Dr. Rey's Instant ShaperRey aims to help women avoid both of these pitfalls of plastic surgery with the line, called Dr. Rey’s Instant Shaper. The line will include bras for women who have lost breasts to cancer, shapers that will imitate butt lifts, and pieces to imitate a tummy tuck with 24 intricate lines of fabric. Amid the myriad of shapewear available, Rey and Schiavi claim that their line will be different because the fabrics are breathable and surgically designed. “We’ve designed this collection out of need, not greed or vanity,” Rey said. The collection will be available in Australian department stores later this year and in the US beginning in September.

strapless_dress.jpgI first discovered these little wonders in the April edition of Lucky magazine (my favorite). I saw it again pretty soon after on Daily Candy (a little something sweet every day about all kinds of fabulous things). So now, I’m bringing it to you!We have to love the Aussies! They’ve given us Russell Crowe, Kylie Minogue, and amazing swimmers and now the folks from down under have given us Nearly Nude.bandeau.jpg

Now available in the U.S., Nearly Nude provides a number of seamless styles including slips, halter tanks, and strapless bandeaus that move and stretch with you. Perfect to wear under every outfit from your lowest cut tops to your most form fitting pants without having to use “tape or glue” states founder and designer Lucy Hosken. Every item in the collection creates a beautiful, slimming silhouette and provides a solution for every item in your wardrobe.

Nearly Nude is sold in abundance all throughout Australia (lucky you!), but is also available at quite a few European shops and two New York locations. Luckily, there are a number of online retailers, such as Zodee, as well. Reasonably priced (shaping tanks from $36, briefs from $14) and stylish, Nearly Nude truly does give you “the ultimate comfort, confidence, and cleavage.” What a deal!

Spanx is hot hot hot

Spanx shapewear 1Let me start by saying: Oprah likes Spanx. Why? Because it works. I could end the article right here and just give you the link to the Spanx page on Freshpair.com. However, as I don’t usually write two-line articles I’ll do some more talking. 😉

Spanx shapewear 3First off: what does Spanx pieces do?
Spanx hides and sleeks (this is actually the name of their most popular collection too, I kind of borrowed it 😉 ). It’s great shapewear, and like I said before, it comes highly recommended by Oprah herself. The Spanx Hide & Sleek Hi-Rise Panty for example consists of a double-layer compression and gently smoothes and firms your entire midriff all the way up to your bra line. Spanx shapewear 2This does not give you a corset-look, but it does make you loose a few inches without feeling pushed together…

Where do I get Spanx?
I recommend Freshpair. It’s a great shop, and they have loads and loads of Spanx in their stocklist. You can browse all of it right here. Happy shopping!
